I’m always trying to think of cute thank-you gift ideas and hostess gifts that go beyond the bottle of wine. So when I spotted these thank-you cookies on Pinterest, I was instantly smitten. Plus, with Bastille Day on Sunday, these Merci cookies seem particularly apropos, non?

What’s great is you could spell out any message you wanted, as long as you have the right cookie cutter letters (you can find alphabet cookie cutters here). I’ll have to give this idea a whirl and will be sure to let you know how it turns out.

Lynne on July 11,2013 You are so talented. I look forward to see what you post everyday. I believe you should have your own program on TV. You are much more interesting than most dyi programs. Look forward to your next project.
